About me

Welcome my Web page. I’m pleased to be able to introduce myself to you and to tell you a little about my practice and myself.

Biography

I was born and raised in Hawaii, and moved to California to continue my specialty and subspecialty training. After medical school, I stayed on to practice cardiology. During my time away from work, I enjoy skiing, fly-fishing, wine tasting, and all types of spectator sports.

About my practice

I’ve practiced general cardiology at Kaiser Permanente West Los Angeles Medical Center since 1985. During that time, I’ve had the chance to work with many wonderful people—physicians and staff as well as Kaiser Permanente members.

How I thrive

Though the practice of medicine can be an extremely satisfying endeavor, it’s important for everyone to get away from his or her daily routine at times. Cruising down a ski run at Mammoth, or tossing a dry fly into a flowing creek helps me to relax and recharge.
